Our Christmas Vacation




We took a week and traveled to spend time with family in Bonney Lake, WA. Our drive there was quite an experience with all the snow and ice on the freeway. What should of taken us three hours to drive, ended up taking us seven and a half hours.

Praise the Lord for getting us to and from our destinations safely.

On Christmas Eve we girls enjoyed baking goodies preparing fo­r Christmas Day while the boys and pets relaxed. The kids opened their gifts.

On Christmas Day we enjoyed great family time together and delicious food. We laughed a lot, played games, made a snowman. It snowed all day. There was a foot of beautiful snow.

We left Washington, went to Woodburn,OR. to Dad and Mom's for two days, having more family fun and food together. The day before we left there it started raining and the eighteen inches of snow there was melting. That made our traveling much smoother.

We then traveled to Roseburg to have Christmas with our son and grand children. They got us a motel room for the night. The next morning we headed to Medford, OR. to see our other grand children. On the way home we picked up our new little puppy, Ginger Rose.

Some of our grand children come home with us. We had a fun time together, laughing a lot, playing games and going bowling.

God blessed us with wonderful family time together, many wonderful memories, and safe traveling this Christ~mas Season.


May you have all the wealth you deserve, the health you desire, and the freetime you require to enjoy your life.

Planning Your Next Vacation?


One of the highlights of membership, is the great lengths we go through to seek out and create contracts with beautiful resorts all over the world.


Part of our negotiation involves a price cap of a maximum of $799 for the week, encompassing any time of the year and any size unit.

This is a painstaking, never ending process which ultimately offers you a service unmatched in the industry.

These properties include Shell Vacations Club, Wyndam, Worldmark, Sheraton, Perennial, WIVC, Club Intrawest, Diamond Resorts, and many other top resort destinations.

We have literally hundreds of thousands of "live weeks" available for immediate purchase at any given time ~ including our newsletter specials, hot weeks, endless holidays, specialty holidays, and our prime weeks. ...and because much of our inventory is actually pre-purchased, you'll enjoy some of the most highly desired, peak season inventory available anywhere.

"Live weeks" are great. You'll love them. But if all we offered were live weeks, what kind of choice would we really be offering?

AOL says it best, "It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.

"The fact that we have "live weeks" is great, but this pales in comparison to the service we offer through our extensive online registry. Choosing your resort from the registry, and being able to select your own dates and unit size, is a service two decades in the making.

Researching other "so-called" competitors is great. We believe it will only reinforce the superiority of our membership.

Remember, when doing any type of research, always be sure to read the fine print...

1) Are you able to choose the actual resort you want, or are you asked to select general locations instead?

2) What is the turnaround time for customer service to accommodate your request?

3) Do they pre-purchase any of their inventory?

4) Do they charge extra money for specific or special requests?

5) How convenient is it for you to make your bookings? (can you browse/book online)

6) Have they established a price cap for resort stays?

The more you learn about our membership and this industry, the more you'll realize, there really is no comparison at all.

P.S. Testimonial -

"We returned last night from Fiji after our 3rd trip there in 2 years. If you are going to Malolo Lailai Island you are in for a real treat. It is the most beautiful place. We stayed at the RCI owned - Malolo Lailai Island Resort Beach Club through our 'points' ownership with RCI and had the best time. Views from the verandahs overlook the small Island Beach Bar where the yachties come in at the beautiful huge lagoon. For us it was a dream come true. Everything you can picture about a beachfront bure, white sandy beaches, perfect blue sky and clear, clear water with swaying palm trees - it was all there - just like off a TV Travel program. GO if you can - you will thank yourself for this wonderful holiday."
